Pomegranate Martinis are the new black. Cosmos are so last year! If you are looking to try a new cocktail that is dee-licious and fun to serve at a party, give this a shot (no pun intended)! But be careful... one is never enough!

I loved this blog post, thanks for the link to POM's website for recipes! I had never even thought about using the juice in food!With that being said, I want to try everything! But what really stood out to me was the POM Red Velvet Cupcakes with the POM creme cheese frosting, the POM Guacamole, and the POM artichoke dip. All three sound like definite winners!

I have never tried POM so thanks for posting this! The Grilled Portobello with POM Mustard Vinaigrette and Garden Greens would make for a delicious side. Love your Blog Gina and thanks for sharing!dsolzer@gmail.com

Oooooh, I love the colors and the flavors in the POM-Glazed Pork Chops with Red Cabbage and Mashed Potatoes. The vibrant purple of the cabbage and the tart-sweet delicious-ness of the apple with the pork. Sounds like heaven on a plate! I love POM so I hope I am the lucky winner.

My favorite recipe is def the POM Pistachio Thumbprints. I am OBSESSED with pistacio. Its my favorite ice cream and my favorite pudding. The smell makes me so happy! I want to make these!soccerchic214@earthlink.net

Oh goodness, all of their recipes look delish, I've never tried POM juice but I would so love to. I think I'd like to try the butternut squash ravioli too, it's one of my fav veggies but I only ever use it in soup!

I love pomegranate so all of the recipes looked great. However, I did fall in love with the Pomegranate, Gouda and Pear Quesadilla with POM Salsa. The idea of a pomegranate salsa sounds intriguing! Thanks for the giveaway! (jenndaww@gmail.com)

Gina,Thanks for the great site. I love the POM Red Velvet Cupcakes with the POM creme cheese frosting, excellent....I would love to try the POM Guacamole, and the POM artichoke dip sounds excellent. I can't wait to try them. I love your site Gina. pottertonts@yahoo.com

Gina,Thanks for serving the drink with us. I love the POM Red Velvet Cupcakes with the POM creme cheese frosting the are so yummy. I would love to try the POM artichoke dip. I love your site!pottertonts@yahoo.com

I adore the taste of pomegranate. I love it in my tea and other juices and I have used it in a glaze. I think that the recipe for Cinnamon French Toast with POM Apple Compote sounds way too good.msgb245 at gmail dot com

I just bought my first bottle of POM to make a raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and POM syrup (WW 1 point) to go with Angel food cake. A great dessert loved by ALL in my family. Thanks for the POM giveaway!! elasseter@slnusbaum.com

Ever since I discovered your diet soda cake I have been infatuated with cake and cupcakes so the recipe that appealed to me the most was the POM Velvet Cupcakes with POM Cream Cheese frosting. YUM!!!!!!!!michaelasayler@gmail.com

I've never tried POM, but I do love pomegranate flavored things, so I imagine I'd love POM too! I think the first thing I'd make would be the POM Velvet Cupcakes with POM Cream Cheese Frosting...I can't resist cupcakes!

They all look really really good! My favorite I think is the Goat Cheese Brûlee, Petite Greens and POM Orange Vinaigrette. That just looks really yummy, really light and perfect for a nice summer dinner on a screened in porch somewhere.

It was SO hard to choose. :(The Pan Toasted Brie with POM Reduction sounds dreamy and adventurous though! I always like trying new recipes and I've already had the pleasure of using some of yours.Keep up the good work! =)

Loved the sound of the butternut squash ravioli with peppered pom sauce. Thanks Gina for directing me to the right place! Tonight I am making your Chicken Francese, looked through your recipes for something to do with fresh broccoli, couldn't find anything :o(. Like I said in the email, I think POM pancakes with a POM reduction would be really good. As for the Martini's I 'll take them any way I can get them! Thanks so much!RhondaJRV3@verizon.net

Now you have an idea for how many people your website is the maître d' in their own homes! I'm one of them and I love your ideas, explanations, photos - I only have to decide what gorgeous dinner I want to prepare! Thank you for doing this!

I love both the pomegranate fuit and the POM juice however, is the first time I'm checking the POM's website. Everything looks so delish and I have already several recipes on my "to do now" list (of course, with some substitutions). If I have to choose one dish it will probably be the Seared Diver Sea Scallops with Toasted Hazelnut POM Brown Butter Sauce.

The Butternut Squash Ravioli with Peppered POM Sauce sounds amazing! I have a serious soft spot for butternut squash ravioli, it is most definitely my favorite pasta treat. I can't wait to try this one!

I love POM! I love all the desserts but I think I'd have to go with the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Peppered POM Sauce ... even if I don't win I want to see if I can make a Weight Watchers friendly version of this recipe, it looks delightful!

Never tried it - but after looking at these recipes I can see I must! I love Brie cheese - so I will definately try the "Pan Toasted Brie with a POM Reduction Sauce". Thanks for the POM webpage suggestion and giveaway!

I want to say that I'd try the cupcakes but I am on Weight Watchers after all...so I'll go with the Seared Day Boat Scallops with POM Beurre Fondue because I am always looking for ways to make scallops. Thanks for posting this...I've always wanted to try POM!

I never have cooked with pomegranates before and was surprised to see all the wonderful recipes you linked us to...It's hard to pick just one but the Butternut Squash Ravioli or the Sage Roasted Turkey Breast looked delicious!

My choice would be the Seared Scallops with POM. Scallops are a favorite of mine and I believe that the POM would add a great flavor accent to the meal. It's a great recipe and I'm going to try it out soon.

I have used pomegranate juice interchangeably with cranberry juice,but never in cooking. I am looking forward to the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Peppered Pom Sauce,the Cinnamon French Toast with Pom Apple Compote and Pom Granita........yum

The Chocolate Banana Souffle was our favorite recipe! My partner and I used many of the recipes here for our Valentine's weekend dinners and this was the perfect ending the our meals! We've used so many of these over the course of the past seven weeks and have lost a significant amount of weight and still ate amazing food! Thanks for the great recipes and ideas!

I think the 'Goat Cheese Brûlee, Petite Greens and POM Orange Vinaigrette' sounds wonderful! I'm going to go back to that site and copy the recipe to try next week. I've never tried POM Juice or Pomegranates, but I definitely will now!

I have never tried it but it was enlightening to know how versatile the POM juice is. I am excited to try the POM Vinaigrette with a strawberry/chicken salad for a new twist.[vrram00@hotmail.com] Vanessa R.

Oh, I found 2 that I would definitely do -- Pan Toasted Brie with POM reduction -- I make baked brie for holidays and this would be a great variation to that. And, also the POM granita looks super easy and refreshing. Maybe it will keep my dessert cravings at bay in this healthy version. Also, I've been wanting to try that POM and I keep forgetting, so I hope I'm picked! Thanks, GINA!!!

I've had POM on a few occasions and it's always so good. I can't believe I have to pick one...ALL of them look delish and mouth watering. I keep going back to the Butternut Squash ravioli with peppered POM sauce. I'll have to make that this weekend, yum!

I love your recipes and I always look forward to seeing what you post. I think the Pear Salad with POM Honey Dijon Dressing and Blue Cheese Crumbles sounds wonderful. I love POM juice and use it to make a cocktail with prosecco and lime juice.

I love your blog and recipes. My vote would be the POM Velvet cupcakes...who can resist a cupcake! Close second was the Cinnamon French Toast with POM Apple Compote...that might just have to be breakfast on Sunday!!

I think they all sound delicious. I will be trying Cinnamon French Toast with POM Apple Compote, Grilled Portobello with POM Mustard Vinaigrette and Garden Greens, and Pear Salad with POM Honey Dijon Dressing and Blue Cheese Crumbles

Maybe it is because it is Friday - Maybe because it has a great name- (The Lola)- maybe because I need an excuse to buy St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur or maybe because I am all about beverages but I love this recipe:

I would like to try the POM cherry chutney over wood grilled pork tenderloin. I'm having roast pork for Easter, I think I will make the cherry chutney and glaze the roast with it. I enjoy your site very much, the recipes are always very good.nkaylapup@comast.net

The pear salad with POM dressing and bleu cheese crumbles looks and sounds wonderful. I love fancy salads. I'd never been to the POM site so thanks for the push. I do love pomegranate juice but have only had it in drinks. geddiesusanathotmaildotcom

The POM Velvet Cupcakes look devine, but you're going to have to make that one lighter before I give into it. I did make the Goat Cheese Brûlee, Petite Greens and POM Orange Vinaigrette and it was fabulous. Healthy, Light and very tasty. Love your blog...keep the recipes coming.chapman4879@comcast.net

The Sage Roasted Turkey Breast with POM Butter and Manchego Cheese looked delicious. Thank you for all your helpful recipes it is so fun to be able to eat delicious food and not feel like you are throwing your health away!
